LittleBigPlanet pod replica making eBay a bit more adorable

by Griffin McElroy { Aug 4th 2009 at 12:30PM }

This seems like one of those things that, when a Sony representative sees it, it elicits a sharp forehead smack, accompanied by the following exclamation: "Why didn't I think of that?" A clever eBay user known as "thegroovygamer" recently put a lovingly crafted LittleBigPlanet pod replica on the virtual auction block. Of course, it wouldn't be an exact replica without two additional items: A DualShock 3 controller, and a little Sackboy to inhabit it.

We would have bought an armful of these bundles had Sony released them in the thick of LittleBigPlanet fever last fall. Oh, heck -- we'd buy an armful now. Just throw in a few sticker sheets, and we'll get out our checkbooks.

[Thanks, Corey!]

Bagels: Almost certainly not as stupid as you think. Also, sweatshops. @ Aug 4th 2009 12:34PM

How awesome! Little harder to reset so choose your stickers wisely.

I thought it would be less box shaped and more pod shaped

i always thought that getting an empty box on ebay means you're getting ripped off... not ANYMORE!!!

LOL. Well, it's not technically empty...

Its a cardboard box.....

I wonder where the hell that person got that Sackboy. It looks eerily familiar (material, etc.)
$41 so far. Not bad, considering it comes with a CONTROLLER.

i think if they had these for sale the reaction would have been more like 'god sony, a box?! you should have save the money and trees and given us a price cut.'

I think that is really nice, better than mine but i thought he would make the WHOLE Pod like inside and out. If you look at the one i made i have done inside and out. also i have the real picture of the game one. Its a very good picture of it too.
